Marcel Dzama – Welcome to the Weimar Republic *SOLD*

Marcel Dzama, Welcome to the Weimar Republic, 2013.   SOLD OUT

Marcel Dzama, Welcome to the Weimar Republic, 2013.Initially gaining recognition for his intricately detailed drawings, Marcel Dzama’s work has recently expanded into the fields of sculpture and painting, with sustained exploration into the diorama form. Defined by their subdued palette and intricate narratives, Dzama’s works,  whimsical at first sight, reveal unexpected horrors upon close inspection; with Canadian folk-lore, art-historical motifs, and depictions of contemporary violence combining to provide a political and historical context for what often at first appear to be fantastical three-dimensional collages.

Welcome to the Weimar Republic is an edition made exclusively for the Whitechapel Gallery in homage to the work of Hannah Hoch. Echoing Hoch’s collages, Dzama’s playful scenes  and drawings emerge from a dreamy surrealist backdrop, artfully combining  contextual significance with a playful sense of the comic.
